KESHON DURHAN, 20, who gave police his address as Cocorite but told a magistrate he lives in Point Fortin, appeared in court yesterday for robbing a man of his car at gunpoint.

The incident is alleged to have happened on May 3 and yesterday, Durhan appeared before senior magistrate Jo-Anne Connor in the San Fernando magistrates’ court charged with robbery with aggravation. The charge was that while armed with a gun, he robbed, Kurt Thackoor of his $275,000 car in San Fernando.

He was also charged with stealing a laptop, cell phone and sunglasses which were in the car. He was not called upon to plead.

Connor asked Durhan why his address was also listed as Cocorite, but he said he merely gave that address to the police when they abused him physically.

“But I live at Reservoir Hill, Point Fortin. I living there four months now,” he said.

Asked by the magistrate to name the street or avenue, Durhan replied that he lived in the house after the school, then said he also lives in La Romaine.

Connor remanded him into custody to reappear today, when the issue of bail will be decided.

Prosecutor PC Cleyon Seedan said he will produce a criminal record.
